MONTHLY WELCOME
Monthly Welcome
Hey CKIers! My name is Valeria Sosa and I am the Secretary for UF CKI. Thank you all so much for flipping through this wonderful newsletter! Last week the E-Board and I submitted our applications for DCON awards and while reviewing the past hours and involvement spreadsheets, I realized how much hard work and dedication goes into this club. In a year alone we run over 350 events and earn over 4000 service hours. That blows my mind! You all are amazing and just so you know I value your involvement in this club very much!
February Tunes Santa Monica - Aries Human Right - The Strike Don’t Start Now - Dua Lipa Déjate Querer - Lalo Ebratt Cuando Nadie Ve - Mora “My music taste lately has been ranging from like really chill alternative to some funky latin music. The latin music really reminds of home (I’m Ecuadorian) so its honestly my favorite genre of music to listen to.”
